Sodium Cyanate
Sodium Cyanate is a white crystalline inorganic compound used as a high-purity chemical intermediate in specialized manufacturing. It is primarily utilized in its Technical Grade for the production of herbicides and various pharmaceutical precursors.
In the agricultural sector, it serves as a base for synthesizing urea-based herbicides and plant growth regulators. The product’s consistent chemical profile allows for high-yield reactions, making it a staple for large-scale agrochemical production facilities.
It is also employed in the steel industry for the salt bath heat treatment of metals to improve surface hardness. Its high thermal stability and reactivity make it ideal for the case-hardening of steel parts in automotive and industrial machinery applications.
Sodium Cyanate
- [Agrochemical Synthesis]: Primary raw material for the production of carbamate and urea herbicides used in global crop protection.
- [Metal Heat Treatment]: Utilized in salt baths for the carbonitriding of steel to increase wear resistance and surface durability.
- [Pharmaceutical Production]: Acts as a reagent in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and various medicinal intermediates.
